Transpacific Cruises

If you really want to see the world, you must take a transpacific cruise. The Pacific Ocean, the world’s largest ocean, covers 33% of the Earth’s surface. This ocean borders four continents and several countries, but what you may find even more amazing are the diverse cultures and people that live along the islands of the Pacific. There are even theories that some of the people from these secluded cultures sailed to the Americas in outrigger canoes thousands of years before Columbus happened upon the Caribbean.  You can discover this incredible past and uncover the theories as you sail this peaceful ocean to discover new adventures. 

Things to Do on a Transpacific Cruise

The ports that touch the Pacific Ocean offer a wonderful array of activities that let you understand the cultural traditions of Fijians, explore the architecture of Japan and Singapore in the 1800s and try some tasty macadamia treats in Hawaii. Featured below are some of the best ways to spend your time cruising across the Pacific Ocean:

• Drive through macadamia nut orchards and see how Mauna Loa processes the nut and packages it at their Visitor Center in Hilo, Hawaii. Don’t forget to try some samples while there.  
• Enjoy Hong Kong at night as you stroll from vendor to vendor at the Temple Street Night Market. Here you’ll also see fortune tellers, opera troupes and old men betting on games of Chinese chess.  

• Uncover Singapore’s history at the Chinatown Heritage Centre. This shows you what a typical bedroom or kitchen from the 19th and 20th centuries looked like. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the struggles of Singapore’s early residents.  
• Spend a day at Beqa Island in Fiji, where you can snorkel through beautiful underwater landscapes of coral as seahorses and ribbon eels glide by. At night you can watch a fire walking ceremony, a tradition among the Sawau tribe.  

• See the amazing moai statues on Easter Island. The moai are the incredible stone figures that are spread out all over the island. It is still unclear who built these statues and what they mean. Each of the statues is unique and all are imposing, with the largest ones standing 32 feet tall.  
• Step into 1800s Japan at Glover Garden in Nagasaki. This garden contains a wide array of houses and other structures from the 19th century, including Glover’s 1863 mansion. Glover was a Scottish merchant who introduced coal mining to Japan.

Some people see an ocean and they’re like… “You know what, I’ve gotta cross it. Let’s see what’s on the other side.” If you’re an explorer, it’s just what you do. Today we know exactly what’s where (thanks, maps!) but making the journey still matters, and the spirit of discovery lives on in a Transpacific Carnival cruise. If white sand and turquoise waters are your style, choose an itinerary featuring islands whose names equal “exotic” — Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii. Or go for a vacation that gets you deep into destinations as diverse as Alaska and Japan… with a little Indonesia and Philippines on the side. Either way, this Pacific Ocean crossing will give you plenty of epic names to cross off your travel to-do list.

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Joint Ministerial Statement

18 May 2024, Arequipa, Peru

Ministers and representatives of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Viet Nam, as Members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), met in Arequipa, Peru, on 18 May 2024 (PET). On this occasion, we welcomed the progress made to date on the Chair's three priorities: progressive stewardship (implementation and General Review), comprehensive utilization, and accessions.

As CPTPP Members continue to navigate an evolving global economic landscape, we reiterated the importance of the General Review in reinforcing the Agreement's effectiveness and relevance. To further promote free, open, and predictable trade, the General Review will review the operation of the Agreement with a view to updating and enhancing the CPTPP, including through addressing emerging issues, to ensure the CPTPP continues to remain the 'gold standard' for trade agreements. To this end, we directed Senior Officials to advance the General Review effectively and efficiently, including by identifying areas where updates and revisions could be advanced most quickly under the General Review, and to report on their findings at the 8th meeting of the CPTPP Commission.

As the Membership turns its attention to the year ahead, we reaffirmed that the CPTPP welcomes the interest of and remains open to accession by economies that can satisfy the three Auckland Principles, namely: preparedness to meet the Agreement's high standards; a demonstrated pattern of complying with trade commitments; and recognition that decisions are dependent on the consensus of the CPTPP Membership.

Further to highlighting the importance of an accession process that ensures the Agreement remains dynamic and living, Members have established an informal standing forum to facilitate information sharing to foster a fair and efficient process for future accessions, and to discuss applications in line with the Auckland Principles.

We also welcomed the United Kingdom's deposit of its instrument of accession to the CPTPP earlier this week. This follows the completion of the respective applicable legal procedures for entry into force of the Protocol on the Accession of the United Kingdom to the CPTPP by Japan, Singapore, and Chile. Looking forward, we reaffirmed our commitment to ensuring the Protocol enters into force in 2024.

In the lead up to the CPTPP Commission meeting this November, we look forward to continuing the advancement of our shared priorities in a way that reflects the interests of all Members and maintains the high standards of the Agreement.

A Guide to Around-the-World Flights

E mbarking on a yearlong journey around the world is a dream scenario for many travelers. However, the logistics of making it happen can be challenging, not least because of the sheer number of flights you would need to book. One way to make the journey a reality is by purchasing an around-the-world flight ticket.

Here are the basics of what you need to know about around-the-world flights, including which airlines and companies offer them and tips for navigating this travel option.

What is an around-the-world ticket?

An around-the-world (often referred to as RTW for "round the world") ticket allows travelers to hopscotch across the globe and visit multiple destinations on one ticket, usually at a lower cost than individually bought tickets. RTW trips typically need to be in a continuous forward direction, either eastward or westward; for example, an eastward itinerary could include flights from New York to Buenos Aires to Barcelona to Berlin to New Delhi to Bali to Honolulu to New York again.

With RTW tickets, changes are typically allowed, so extending or shortening your stay at each destination doesn't cost extra. Travelers either choose their own unique itinerary or follow one of the sample itineraries provided.

Which airlines offer around-the-world tickets?

Around-the-world tickets are typically offered by airline alliance networks and travel agencies-not by single airlines. Both Oneworld Alliance and Star Alliance offer around-the-world flights, but SkyTeam (which includes Delta Air Lines, Air France, and KLM) no longer has an around-the-world program . The rules around the tickets vary based on the provider.

Oneworld Alliance around-the-world tickets

The Oneworld Alliance (which includes U.S. carriers Alaska Airlines and American Airlines as well as international carriers British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, Qatar, and seven others) offers travelers two options for RTW tickets , including:

• Oneworld Explorer, which sets prices based on the number of continents you visit
• Global Explorer, which bases the fee on the distance traveled

There are a few restrictions for each. For one, trips must start and end in the same city within 12 months. Also, travelers need to visit at least three continents and cross both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans in no more than 16 flights, without backtracking (meaning you need to continue in the same direction of travel).

Oneworld RTW prices for itineraries starting stateside begin at roughly $3,500 for an economy ticket to three continents. However, that price climbs to about $7,000 for travelers planning to visit six continents. Those seeking to travel in business or first class should expect rates to start at more than $10,000.

Star Alliance around-the-world tickets

There are few places you can't get to on a Star Alliance RTW ticket -the network reaches more than 1,300 destinations in 190 countries. It includes 26 airlines, some of which are United, Air Canada, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, and Air New Zealand.

Travelers have two options when booking: to pick their destinations or to select one of Star Alliance's themed RTW tickets. The themed itinerary Architecture Hotspots Round the World , for example, starts in Athens, from where you fly to Cairo, Beijing, Miami, Chicago, Brasilia (Brazil), Barcelona, and Florence and then return to Athens.

Like Oneworld, Star Alliance RTW tickets demand travelers make both a transpacific and transatlantic flight in no more than 16 flights, flown within one year. However, Star Alliance doesn't require fliers to start and end at the same airport. They just need to get back to the same country-so users could feasibly start in San Francisco and wrap up in New York if they're running short on allotted miles (the maximum allowed for the entire journey is 39,000). Additionally, each stop must last at least 24 hours.

For Star Alliance, prices are determined by total mileage flown and class of service. On the low end, expect to pay about $4,000.

Other companies that offer around-the-world tickets

If you'd rather not use one of the airline alliances, another option is to consult a travel agency that specializes in around-the-world tickets.

One of the oldest is AirTreks, which has been assembling RTW tickets for travelers since 1987.

Because AirTreks works with multiple airline alliances (including SkyTeam, even though it no longer sells RTW tickets), it can offer greater ticket flexibility, often at a lower price. It also provides overland options from one airport to another (meaning you could fly into London, take the train to France, and fly out of Paris), whereas Oneworld and Star Alliances require travelers to fly in and out of the same airports.

One sample itinerary titled the Off The Beaten Path starts in Los Angeles and has you fly to Melbourne and Catania, Italy, where you travel overland to Palermo to catch forward flights to Porto, Portugal; Florianópolis, Brazil; Medellín, Colombia; and Los Angeles. The price starts at $3,000, which is slightly cheaper than booking a similar trip with one of the airline alliances.

AirTreks doesn't have mileage or segment restrictions, so it allows travelers to embark on and conclude their journey wherever they choose. However, because flights are spread across multiple alliances, tickets can be subject to change fees.

Other companies you might consider include Trailfinders , Flight Centre , and RoundAbout Travel .

Can you pay for an around-the-world ticket using miles?

Yes, it's possible to fund your around-the-world ticket with select airline miles. However, you're going to need a treasure trove of loyalty points to make it happen, and you'll be tasked with finding flights with award availability for each flight segment, which can be challenging.

Some of the mileage programs that currently offer RTW tickets are Aeromexico, Air Canada, ANA, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, Qantas, and Singapore Airlines.

Are around-the-world tickets worth it?

It depends.

There are some distinct advantages to booking a RTW ticket; chief among them is some built-in flexibility and a set price. Because the price is determined by the number of places you visit, it can be cheaper for travelers who are keen on flying during more expensive peak-travel periods, such as summer, versus during the offseason.

However, some travelers may find it easier to book individual tickets as they go rather than the whole itinerary upfront-especially if work, family, or other obligations may make it hard to use all the provided flights in a single year while adhering to the RTW-ticket conditions (namely, consistently flying in a single direction). Booking outside of an airline alliance also allows you to mix and match a greater number of airlines. Similarly, going the DIY route allows travelers to use a combination of points and cash.
